title: Herpes simplex labialis and trigeminal neuropathy.
abstract: Three patients had a transient trigeminal sensory disturbance associated with an ipsilateral herpes simplex (HS) labialis lesion. These cases support the theory that isolated trigeminal sensory disturbance may be caused by intermittent reactivation of HS virus in the trigeminal ganglion.
